1 And he arrived at Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timothy, son of a certain woman, a faithful Jewess; and of a Greek father: 2 Who was testified of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium. 3 Him Paul wished to go forth with him; and having taken, he circumcised him, on account of the Jews being in those places: for all knew his father that he was a Greek. 4 And as they were going through the cities, they delivered them the orders to watch, having been determined by the sent and the elders in Jerusalem. 5 Therefore truly the churches were rendered firm in faith, and abounded in number daily. 6 And having passed through Phrygia and the Galatian country, hindered by the Holy Spirit from speaking the word in Asia, 7 Having come to Mysia, they tried to go to Bithynia: and the Spirit suffered them not. 8 And having passed by Mysia they came down to Troas.
